James Gurney
by James Gurney
Children all over the world are fascinated by dinosaurs. Latin scientific terms and names roll off their tongues with an ease that most adults envy. "James Gurney: The World of Dinosaurs" is an introduction to dinosaurs found in North America. Gurney's playful yet technically accurate paintings portray some familiar dinosaurs as well as some surprising cohabitants of their eras, including Jurassic crocodiles, lizards, and the flying reptiles: pterosaurs! In addition to a fact-filled spread on the creature pictured on each stamp, "The World of Dinosaurs" includes illustrated sections on the making of the dinosaurs stamps, a dinosaur "hot spots" map of North America, dinosaur stamps from around the world, and a summary of the unfolding research into the origins and fate of the dinosaurs and the world they ruled for millions of years. The book closes with a spectacular full-color gatefold of the original Gurney paintings used to produce the stamp series. The lively text by Smithsonian paleontologist Michael Brett-Surman, Ph.D. and his colleague from the University of Maryland, Dr. Thomas Holtz, takes us through the endlessly fascinating world of dinosaurs.

Kings of Creation: How a New Breed of Scientists Is Revolutionizing Our Understand of Dinosaurs
Lessem, Don
Simon & Schuster, 1992. Very-nice, clean copy of this 1992 hardback. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. Top-front edge of dustcover shows 4 small, closed tears. Book is in near-fine condition. Green boards with brown spine (gilt lettering - clean and bright). ONLY writing/mark inside book is previous owner's last name signature in book front. NO tears inside book. Illustrated throughout. Tight spine - Bright pages. 367 pages. - From The Critics Publishers Weekly These are exciting times in the field of dinosaur paleontology--new discoveries, techniques, interpretation and controversies. Lessem, founder of the Dinosaur Society, presents a lively sampling of current and significant work on dinosaurs worldwide. He introduces taphonomy, the study of circumstances of dinosaur death and preservation, and cladistics, a classification system that helps define relationships among dinosaurs. We meet scientists Robert Bakker, Peter Dodson, John Ostrum, Phil Currie, Paul Soreno, Jack Horner and others who have upended the traditional world of dinosaur studies with theories of warm-bloodedness, nurture and migration. Examining plausible causes of extinction, Lessem tends to support climatic change, though he concedes a possible catastrophic meteor impact. This is the best book on the subject since Robert Bakker's Dinosaur Heresies and a treat for buffs. Illustrations not seen by PW. (Apr.) Library Journal Dinosaur paleontology has been a sensationalist science since the beginning; from the Crystal Palace dinner inside a model Iguanodon, to the Cope and March dinosaur wars, to Roy C. Andrews's dinosaur egg auction. Modern dinosaur paleontologists have carried on the tradition of public spectacle and controversy with the discovery of ever huger dinosaurs (given names like ``Ultrasaurus''), flamboyant comet-impact extinction theories, and new interpretations of the link between dinosaurs and birds. In describing the current research of some famous and some less well-known paleontologists, the author takes a noticeably accepting and uncritical attitude toward both meticulous and dubious theories and projects. Dinosaur fans may find this book interesting, but a bit misleading. For general science collections. Illustrations not seen.-- Amy Brunvand, Fort Lewis Coll. Lib., Durango, Col. . Hard Cover. Near-Fine/Very Good. Illus. by Sibbick, John . 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ( more information) Offered by Ginny6 Books (United States)
